Solitary stage (mixer) techniques are now extremely seldom utilized and reserved for old pre multi-stage petrol injection cars. With the influx of eastern european immigrants there has been a corresponding influx of LPG injection kits from these countries. The outcome is that exactly where there was significantly less than ten kits to decide on from now the option is probably in excessive of thirty. Great for the conclude consumer in that the competitors forces the price tag down but not so very good in that the personal installers who chase the most affordable kits do not construct expertise in any certain kit.
Lets look at the kits, they all perform! Front end kits can be categorized by: nation of manufacture vapour or liquid injection electronic manage unit make of injectors make of vapouriser value. The back again-stop is generally categorized by: four hole or simple hole cylinder or toroidal. Already we have a bewildering array of choices. For the purpose of this discussion I'll forget about the back-finish and focus on the front-end kits also because of their relative rarity at the second I shall not consist of liquid injection kits, consequently we will take into account only sequential vapour injection LPG conversion kits.
If we categorize by country kits fall into one particular of a few groups, Dutch, Italian and others (mainly eastern european) and traditional knowledge would have it that the good quality descends in the very same purchase. I have no proof that this myth is accurate but suspect it has developed out of clever marketing in the previous by the Dutch producers. When put in accurately on an regular vehicle the difference in efficiency in between Prins, BRC & Stag for example is unmeasurerable. We must contemplate other ways to differentiate among LPG Conversion kits.
If we categorize by Digital Control Units (ECU) once again we conclude up with 3 groups. This time we have kit makers who make most of the elements in the kit which includes the ECU for case in point Ultra-Gasoline, AG & Landi (group A in table one). Also there are a huge amount of kit manufacturers who make the mechanical parts and get in the digital expertise, e.g. Romano, Tartarini, OMVL and Bigas all use AEB electronics(group B in table 1).This group can additional be damaged down into these that design and make their own injectors(group B1 in table 1) and individuals that get in injectors(group B2 in table 1). Finally there are the kit producers who make the ECU and offer it with acquired in mechanical components e.g. AC Stag and Tamona(group C in table one). We could maybe include a fourth group, the folks who purchase in practically everything, badge the components and sell them as there own e.g. Elpigaz and Emer, but I feel this group really should be in a classification of its personal(group D in table one).
Emer use Valtek injectors which is portion of the same group of companies.
This is a first stab at classification, please allow me know about glitches and enhancements.
When all elements are built in house (group A) it is a great assumption that anything is compatible and will behave accordingly.
